SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 722,540, dated March 10, 1903. Application filed September 11, 1902. Serial No. 122.926. (lNo model.)

To a/ZZXwhom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ALBERT C. SCHLIEPER and HENRY G. STEINBooK, citizens of the the following is a specification, reference be' ing had therein to the accompanying draw- 1o lngs.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in buttons', and relates more specifically to that form of button known as a studg and the main object of the invention is to construct a stud which may be inserted in one ply of "material and held securely therein before the second ply of material is placed in position on the stud and secured by means of a head.

intermediate disk or head, each shank having a detachable head, whereby one shank z 5 may be inserted through one ply of material, the head placed thereon, and the button thus held in position, after which the other ply of material may be placed on the'other shank and the head of the latter placed thereon to 3o retain the second ply of material. Y

In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and wherein like numerals of reference indicate like 3; parts throughout the several views,in which- Figure lis a detail perspective view showing a portion of a shirt-front and illustrating the application of our improved stud. Fig. 2 is a detail side elevation of the several ele- 4o ments disconnected. Fig.3 is a side elevation of the stud in position on the shirt-front, a portion of the latterrbeing in section. Fig. 4 is a detail elevation ofthe severalelements disconnected, showinga modified form of construction, the disk or central head and shanks being in section. Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section through one of the heads, showing the form of fastening. Fig. 6 is a central sectional view through the central member in the 5o modified form of construction.

As heretofore stated, the main object of our fis illustrated in Figs. l and 3, in Fig. 1 the As stated above, the invention particularlyV relates to what are known as studs; andit consists in a stud having two shanks, with an'` fried-by the catches 6.

invention is to provide a stud having a detachable head on `each end. To this end we lprovide a central disk' or head l, extending from the center of which on each side are the integral elongated Shanks 2 and 3, said shanks being of the same diameter.` These Shanks are each adapted to receive the detachable heads 4 and 5, which may be of anyapproved form and may be1secured on the shanks in any desired manner, aconvenient one being by means of the form of fastening 5 shown in Fig. 5, which consists of springcatches which have pins projecting through the periphery of the head at opposite sides thereof, these pins being adapted to be forced within the casing of the head, whereby the catches 6 may be disengaged from the groove 7, provided therefor in the Shanks 2 and 3. This form of stud 7o shank 2 being shown inserted through the under .ply l8 of the shirt-front with the head 4 placed inposition thereon. When in this position, it will. be observed that the stud is secured in position bydthe head-4 and the disk or head 1, between' whichL two elements the ply 8 is held. The ply 9 may then be placed upon 'the' shank 3 and secured by means of the head 5.l It will thus be seen that the stud may be placed in position and securely retained in one ply of the material in order that the shirt may be fastened after being put on.

In Fig. 4 we show a modified form of construction, the shanks 2 and 3 of the central head or disk l having a recess 4 in their ends to receive the pins 5', carried by the detachable heads 6' 7 These heads are of Yan approved form, having pins at the opposite sides of the periphery which are compressible, so as to permit the disengagement of: the pins 5 from the shanks, which pins are car-V (Shown in Fig. 5.)-

In Fig. 6 the head or disk l, as Yshown,jis constructed with a front shank 2a of greater 95 length than the rear shank 3". These shanks 2 and 3a are shown as provided with recesses 4', as in the construction shown in Fig. 4.

, It willof course be evident that the detachable head may be of any desired style and rco form. other than is shown, and in the construction of the invention it will be noted that Various changes may be made in the details without departing from the general spirit of the invention.

Having fully described our invention, what We claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A stud of the type set forth, comprising a disk formed on its opposite sides with outwardly-projecting Shanks, adapted to project through the garment to be secured, and heads engaging the said Shanks only at points adjacent their outer ends and engaging only the outer and inner faces of the garment respeetively.

2. A stud comprisinga disk, Shanks formed integral with the opposite faces of the1 said disk, said shanks each being formed at points
